While it may be anecdotal, what you are sharing is really compelling, as feed in my (rural) area hasn't noticeably increased.
This is the gist of what I see in a lot of sectors - there's price seeking happening. I'm finding going to the local restaurant supply store, prices are still what I would expect for the things I buy. Those same items are 3x at the national brand grocery stores. That tells me it's not about supply and demand or you'd see price increases universally, rather than only at those stores that are gouging their customers to see if they can get away with it.

I have no idea who is increasing prices more than their suppliers have increased prices. for Canada, from https://ottawa.citynews.ca/national-business/canadians-making-fewer-trips-to-the-grocery-store-as-inflation-pinches-rbc-report-6673205 https://ottawa.citynews.ca/national-business/canadians-makin...: "Grocery prices grew by 11.4 per cent year-over-year in January ... according to the latest data released by Statistics Canada."

The cost of food at restaurants and other vendors is up 5.8%, compared to food from grocery stores or supermarkets, which shot up nearly 10% from November 2021 to August 2022, Wells Fargo analysts noted in a report."
